Bio
Asha S.
Velu was introduced to me in a time of great need and more than a little stress. I was about two months away from the largest conference I had ever organized and I no longer had a volunteer to own managing volunteers for the two event days. Another person on the organizing committee introduced me to Velu and recruited her to the task. Velu had never done this type of mass conference volunteer management before, but she threw herself into the task. Every ask we had of her she met, she took feedback and guidance with professionalism and joy, and most importantly, she did every job with that big beautiful smile and a wonderful sense of grace. She's a treasure who stepped up to a tough role in crunch time with a very little background and pulled it off with an amazing attitude. She'd be a great asset to any organization and any team with her tenacity and infectious attitude of positivity.

Velu is a nop-notch social media manager and strategist. She brings a unique balance of being completely on-brand with copy and visuals, while also being able to think outside-the-box and provide creative solutions to the team. I highly recommend working with Velu!
Luisa Millan
I had the pleasure of working with Velu when I was setting up my Reiki Practice. She has provided me with valuable social media advice, while helping me design my own personal brand and managing my social media presence. She is a dependable, professional with an entrepreneurial and leadership spirit, driven to use new ideas. She is compassionate and empathetic, well organized and detailed oriented. She is very much missed and I highly recommend her to any future employer.
